personally i don't blame him for not talking,
he doesnt need to prove he is innocent, they need to prove he is guilty....him opening his mouth and talking about it would only be dumping fuel onto their fire.....
nobody should ever talk to police/law enforcement unless they are forced to do so and in the presence of a lawyer,
think about what they say to you prior....."anything you say or do can be used
AGAINST YOU in a court of law"
nothing you ever say to police/law enforcement will
HELP YOU....it can only incriminate you,
silence is his best bet....if he had nothing to do with it he doesn't need to prove that to anybody, something he says might be taken out of context.....
when in doubt keep your mouth shut....even if you are 100% innocent you should still never talk to the police...you can only incriminate yourself,
Reasons Why You Should Not Talk To The Police
You've likely seen cases on the news where suspects make the prosecutor's case themselves by saying too much. When you speak to police, you risk confessing or just providing them with information they can use to charge you with a crime. Even if you don't think what you're saying is important, the best thing to do is remain silent. To put things simply,
talking to the police cannot help you.
You are at a disadvantage when talking to the police. They are trained in getting admissions and confessions from people. You should know that:
- What you say to the police during a police stop CAN be used against you.
- Police officers may attempt to mislead you into incriminating yourself.
- Officers may misunderstand what you say, intentionally or accidentally.
- You may admit to knowing some facts which can be used to prove your involvement or knowledge of a crime.
- Some people feel the need to lie to the police during the interview, which may put you under suspicion, and later affect your credibility (whether a judge or jury believes you).
- The police officer may put words into your mouth and claim that you made incriminating statements, when in reality, you did not.
- Police do not have the authority to make deals with you or give you leniency. That is up to the prosecutor.
- Even if you believe you are guilty, there is no need to rush into a confession. Circumstances may change and a criminal defense attorney may be able to spot flaws or errors in your case that can be used at a later time to have your charges reduced or dismissed.
- Even if you believe you are innocent, facts can be misconstrued; you may tell a white lie, and you may say something that may be used against you if you decide to talk.
